I’m paying with a 360 controller on my PC. After your post, I checked and I do have analog control on the triggers… I am just really bad at using them like analog controls. How did your steering work if you set gas and brakes to up and down on the left thumb stick? Were you just letting off them in hard corners?
This game is in a weird uncanny valley for me during crashes. Plowing into a building at 150 mph (in the cockpit view at least) mostly just slams the car to a stop. I keep expecting something more dramatic/permanent. (I can’t remember what game I’m thinking of, but the camera pans around the wreckage of the car with ominous music before the screen goes black and you restart that sequence…)
